Why is there anything? (Introduction)

> dhw: Welcome back, Tony. If, as I suspect, you agree with David and are thinking of "God" as your answer, do you consider God to be nothing (= a total void)? If you don't, you still have the same problem: i.e. why is there God (something) rather than nothing? My honest suggestion ... though made, I must confess, with a smile on my face ... leaves the answer perfectly, agnostically neutral. Can you find fault with it?-Is your theory that first was total void, then God appeared, or God existed always in that void before He made anything appear? If there is no First Cause there is nothing, and there would be nothing today. BUT, there is something. WHY? HOW an WHY can never be separate magisteria, a la Gould. Only atheists want that separation.
